I cannot and will not accept this! We became friends, joined at the heart, late in life and I will not believe anything other than we will get through this and she will be fine!! I cannot believe anything else ... am I wrong to be optomistic? I tell her ... we will beat this, we are "Steel Magnolias", tough old birds!!! She says, I have to be realistic! I believe in miracles and God's mercy! She is such a good person with a heart of gold ... she doesn't deserve this!!
Please, please pray for her ... she has to beat this!! |
Betteanne - your sister and your family are in my prayers -
I truly believe you have such a positive outlook that YOUR presense may just be the medicine she needs.....you aren't a tough old bird but you ARE a strong woman - though I do like the Steel Magnolia reference.....
HUGS and have a safe trip and please let us know how she is after her surgery - sending thoughts and prayers and a big hug
